American Society of Addiction Medicine PCSS MAUD - Project Name: PCSS-MAUD Project
Population(s) to be Served: The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)'s proposed Provider's Clinical Support System Medications for Alcohol Use Disorders (PCSS-MAUD) project will be implemented nationwide, providing free training, ongoing technical assistance (TA), and mentoring on alcohol use disorder (AUD) to healthcare and counseling professionals.

Project services will include customized education and information for underserved communities, including rural, minority/ethnic, and tribal populations. During the three-year project, 7,000 healthcare and counseling professionals will receive AUD training.

Strategies/Interventions: Through the provision of free and accessible education, training, guidance, and mentoring, ASAM's PCSS-MAUD project will increase the number of current and future healthcare and counseling professionals that effectively identify and treat individuals with AUD.

Project implementation will be led by ASAM, which is a national leader in addiction education, in collaboration with a committed consortium of partners representing interdisciplinary health professions. To ensure effective implementation and ongoing monitoring of ASAM's PCSS-MAUD project, a steering committee of leaders in the field of addiction medicine and various specialty and health professions will be established in the first quarter of year 1.

The committee will be responsible for overseeing the direction of the project, monitoring progress, and enhancing the project as needed during the three-year grant period. Project components include the provision of:
1) Discipline-specific education and training on screening, assessment, and treatment of AUD;
2) Skill-based training and resources on treatment and management of AUD; and
3) Technical support and consultation services on treatment-related topics and overcoming barriers to implementing MAUD in practice settings.

Continuing medical education and continuing education units will be provided for training offered.
